Project 10073 Record Cards and Related Reports - July 1958

This document contains two Project 10073 record cards and associated military communications regarding UFO sightings reported by a civilian hydro operator near Hardy Dam, Michigan, in July 1958. The first sighting occurred on 8 July 1958, where a round, bright white object with a smoke track was observed for one second. The second sighting occurred on 29 July 1958, where a round, white object the size of a pea at arm's length was observed for ten seconds before disintegrating. Both reports were investigated by the 781st ACWRON at Custer AFS and the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The official conclusion for both incidents was that the objects were meteors. Military personnel, including Senior Director Lt. John Meyer, provided context regarding radar activity in the area and the possibility of light reflections from high-altitude aircraft or weather balloons. The 29 July sighting was further identified as a bolide associated with the Delta Aquarid meteor shower, which was active at the time. The reports include weather data, observer information, and technical comments from the Air Technical Intelligence Center.
